Virginia McCready
Passes Away
Virginia McCready passed away on
May 10 in Carlsbad, California. She
grew up in Topeka, Kansas - the old­est
of three children. She graduated
from the University oflowa.
She held various occupations prior to
marrying Jack McCready in 1957.
When Jack died in 1960, she returned
to Topeka to earn a degree at Kansas
University.
In 1964, she moved to Pasadena to
begin teaching Spanish at PCC, and
that is where she stayed until she re­tired
in 1992. After leaving PCC, she
worked as a residential real estate bro­ker
for more than a decade. In 2007,
she moved to Carlsbad to be closer to
her son Patrick and his family.
Virginia was a patron of the arts, and
she was particularly fond of opera. She
was also an avid walker. The family
suggested that memorial contributions
could be made to the Alzheimers Asso­ciation-
San Diego/Imperial Valley
chapter or the St. Vincent DePaul So­ciety
c/o St. Philip the Apostle Church
in Pasadena.
